Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

Zhao Yanxi perked up and winked playfully, "Do you want me to come with you?"

Ding Heng readily agreed: "Sure, then you can cancel your ticket?"

Zhao Yanxi pursed her lips, considered for a few seconds, and then backed down: "Forget it... It's still a bit early, and I'm empty-handed and haven't prepared anything."

Ding Heng reached out and ruffled the heads of the two girls, changing the subject at the opportune moment.

"I'm going downstairs to buy something in a bit. What would you like to order?"

"I want spicy rabbit head! From the place across from the hotel! And ice jelly too!"

"I want to eat tangyouguozi (a type of fried dough)..."

"Okay, wait!"

Ding Heng walked out of the room and came to the elevator. The elevator door opened, and Hua Qing was standing inside.

"What a coincidence! Where have you been?"

"I lost my charger and just went downstairs to buy one."

"What about Hua Yue?"

"I already said I won't be on the same flight back as her tomorrow."

"What excuse?"

"I told him that a friend was having a performance and I wanted to go see it."

"She believed it?"

Hua Qing shook her head, then nodded.

"do not know……"

"Don't be nervous, it's just a meeting."

Hua Qing lowered her head, hummed in agreement, and turned to go back to her room.

Across from the hotel was a food street. Ding Heng arrived at a rabbit head shop and was about to speak when a short figure suddenly rushed over and slapped two hundred-yuan bills on the counter first.

"Boss!!"

Authentic local dialect: "Ten rabbit heads, five spicy, three fragrant spicy, two five-spice! Spicy with extra spice, fragrant spicy with extra sesame oil, five-spice with extra crushed peanuts!"

Ding Heng looked down and saw that the girl in front of him was small and much shorter than Wen Jing, probably less than 1.5 meters tall.

"Little sister."

Ding Heng asked, "Didn't your school teachers teach you to line up?"

The girl turned around and looked up.

Her features aren't exactly stunning, but they're very pleasing to the eye.

She has a round face and skin that is so white it's almost translucent, with a hint of healthy pink.

Naturally light eyebrows, neither too thick nor too thin, just right.

The eyes are large, round, and the pupils are dark and bright.

The bridge of her nose is not high, but the tip is small and round, with a touch of fleshiness.

Her lips were a light pink, neither too thick nor too thin, with the corners slightly upturned.

The whole face, taken together, has a kind of... simple and natural beauty.

Unlike Zhao Yanxi and Hua Qing, who are exquisitely beautiful, she is like a snow lotus in the high mountains, naturally delicate, and just as tempting to touch and pinch.

"Brother, please help me out! I'm in a real hurry!"

She clasped her hands together, looked at Ding Heng pitifully, and spoke in a dialect with a slightly coquettish tone.

Ding Heng said seriously, "Then you should at least give me a heads-up first."

"Okay, okay, I know, I know, I'll definitely do it next time, alright?"

The girl waved dismissively, a smile plastered on her face.

One shouldn't hit a smiling face, and Ding Heng was too lazy to argue with a child.

Since he had nothing better to do, he asked, "Hey kid, what grade are you in? Why are you in such a rush? Are you going to a tutoring class?"

The girl reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling with anger.

"What grade?! I'm a high school student!?"

She ripped up her school uniform and shoved the school badge on her chest right in front of Ding Heng's eyes.

"See that? XX High School badge! I'm a senior in high school!!!"

Ding Heng looked closely and realized it was true.

He looked at the school badge, then at the young face in front of him, and then at her height of less than 1.5 meters.

"Sorry, I didn't notice."

The girl put down her school badge and gave him a disdainful look.

"You're not trying to strike up a conversation on purpose, are you?"

"Uh……"

Ding Heng ignored her and turned to play on his phone.

A short while later, the waiter handed over the packaged rabbit heads.

"Hey sis, here's your rabbit head."

The girl took the bag, found a chair nearby, and sat down. Then, to the astonishment of the shop assistant and Ding Heng, she devoured all ten rabbit heads in the blink of an eye.

After finishing his meal, he wiped his mouth with his hand, then wiped it on his school uniform, his expression one of lingering enjoyment, as if he were secretly wondering if he should have two more.

Ding Heng: "…………"

Suddenly, a voice came from across the street.

"Pema!"

A meticulously made-up office lady jogged over in high heels, panting.

"Secretary Huang."

A girl named Baima went up to her, putting on a well-behaved expression.

The office lady approached her, looking her up and down suspiciously: "What are you doing here? You're not secretly buying snacks again, are you?"

Bai Ma quickly shook her head: "How could that be, Secretary Huang! I want to buy something to eat, can't you check my spending records?"

The office lady squinted: "You really can't eat just anything, you know? Last time you were caught sneaking hot pot, and I got my bonus docked!"

Baima nodded hurriedly, "I know, I know, don't worry, I'll be very good!"

Before she could finish speaking, a hand reached out.

Ding Heng, carrying the rabbit head he had just bought, handed a handful of change to Bai Ma.

"Little sister, you forgot your change from the rabbit head shop."

Baima shuddered in fright, but still pretended to be nonchalant.

"What? You've mistaken me for someone else!"

Ding Heng smiled and repeated slowly.

"I'm not mistaken, I remember it's... ten rabbit heads, five spicy, three extra spicy, and two five-spice! Extra spicy, extra sesame oil for extra spicy, and extra crushed peanuts for five-spice! Right? Count them!"

He tossed the change into Baima's schoolbag, smiled, and turned to leave amidst the little girl's despairing gaze.

Behind me came the roar of the office lady.

"Pema!!!"

"Secretary Huang, let me explain!!!"

"My prize money... Waaaaah!"

"Please don't tell my mom, Secretary Huang!!!"

Chapter 91: Family Dinner (Part 1)

Ding Heng returned to the hotel and stepped into the elevator. Just a second before the doors were about to close, he suddenly heard a sound.

"Hold on!"

He pressed the open button, and the elevator doors reopened.

Wow, what a coincidence!

The young girl Baima from earlier, and that office lady, Secretary Huang.

Secretary Huang nodded politely: "Thank you."

When Baima looked up and saw Ding Heng, she couldn't help but feel resentful. She was so angry that her teeth itched, as if she wanted to devour him alive.

Ding Heng smiled but didn't say anything.

The elevator doors closed, and the numbers jumped up.

Bai Ma tugged at Secretary Huang's sleeve and muttered softly, "Secretary Huang, please don't tell my mom!"

Secretary Huang said sternly, "No."

Baima continued to whine, "If you tell my mom, you'll get your bonus docked too. That's not worth it!"

Secretary Huang glanced at her and said, "Bai Ma, I can tell the difference between having my bonus deducted and losing my job."

Baima sighed and lowered her head resignedly: "Anyway, it'll be discovered... I should have eaten two more."

Secretary Huang's forehead veins bulged: "Bai Ma, even if you don't care about my bonus, can't you at least think about your own health?"

Baima put her hands on her hips, looked up, and was about to retort when she suddenly frowned and immediately covered her abdomen with her hands.

Secretary-General Huang sighed deeply: "Look... let's go back and take our medicine."

When the elevator arrived at the floor for two, Bai Ma clutched her stomach, her cute and delicate face scrunched up. Before leaving, she turned back and glared angrily at Ding Heng.
